Shepherd, P B; Powers, T J

A prior DOE study on ten candidate methods for recovering the energy resource represented in asphalt roofing waste showed that incorporating fresh factory waste in new roofing was a potentially viable means for recovering some of the annual 7 x 10/sup 13/ Btu in this waste resource. The project reported here involved measuring the effect of adding factory waste to the asphalt coating compound (called filled coating asphalt). The influence of waste type, size, and quantity on coating asphalt properties such as viscosity, impact resistance, pliability, and service life was measured. In addition, experiments were made to determine if there was a possibility of using field waste (worn-out asphalt roofing) in a similar manner.
